Not to mention the NSW Government has convicted drug felon, Tanya Plibersek's husband on the payroll.

He should be banned from such a position for life.

In YOUR country he'd have ( ... probably) got the electric chair
However - OUR country has a successful ( ... obviously) system of rehabilitation

Appointing convicted drug dealers to positions of authority is not something of which to be proud.

BOTH parties have a right to be proud of such rehabilitations - and OUTCOMES

I find it a tad galling to have Tanya Plibersek on TV criticising Tony Abbott on morals and ethics when her own husband is a convicted criminal.

Maybe you should email Barry O'Farrell (Lib) about that, expressing your displeasure.

It seems corruption isn't limited to one party. Greg Pearce has been sacked by Barry O'Farrell.

labourarecorrupt should take note.

And Pearce deserves no sympathy. My only worry is who will fly those dangerous trade missions to the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast? Of course that person will have to spend the weekend in those hostile locations but he or she will be able to take along their partners.

Australian politicians are filth.

Yes, but the difference is that Labor turn a blind eye to corruption (see recent ICAC findings) whereas O'Farrell clearly does not...

Actually, cods, the press has been reporting on Pearce's rorts for more than two weeks.

Hey Andre, nice of you to throw mud at Tanya's husband, but he sounds like someone who turned his life around and made something of himself;

In 1986, at the age of 21, he was imprisoned for less than three years of a nine-year sentence for conspiracy to import narcotics. At the time he was a heroin user. He recovered from his addiction through a Salvation Army program.

I think its pretty average to throw morality questions at a woman because he husband did the wrong, owned it, served his punishment then proceeded to right his wrongs, all of which happened 27 years ago. It is also something Coutts-Trotter has never hid, denied or tried to blame on anyone else.

He is also someone who the Liberal Party also saw good things in and have kept on board during their term in government.

If the best you have on someone is what they did 27 years ago, then you are about stuffed in the credibility stakes.

Hahahaha, poor Cods. He was sacked today, in 2013, for an appointment he made in 2011.

Now why was he only sacked now, some two years after the appointment, because the Telegraph ran a story on it bringing it to light.

So the Frog is right, he was only sacked after it coming to light from a newspaper.

You really should read things in a bit more detail, you look a bit silly.
